PITTsBURG. April l4.-The Knights OF

No Preferences to be shown.

SAN Francisco, April l4.-T. IL.
Goodman, General Passenger Agent OF
the Central Pacific Company, has ad-
dressed a letter to ]. G.. Mccall, the
Pacific Coast Agent of the Erie Railway,
notifying hin that the Central Pacific
COMPANY would not allow him to con-
tinue the business of sending emigrant
excursion parties east over their road.
Mr.. Goodman assigns as the reason for
this action that Mccall has been fur.
nishing extra privileges in the way OF
accommodations to such passengers.
and that this would make the Central
Pacific liable to penalties under the In
terstate Commerce law, which provides
that no undue preference or advantage
shall be given to any person.

Benefits of Climate.

Climate is sometimes laughed at as q
shadowy thing to boom up; but after al,
what is more enduring than climate, or
what other facter has played more i'm

climate of California that is destined 10
give her the foremost place in the
Union. In no other State has mere ex.

THE RAlsIN INDUSTRY.
California Crippled by the Inter
state Commerce Law.

state COmmerCc LAw'
SAN Francisco, April l4.-The Mer-
chant tomorrow will print an article
showing that the overland shipments of
raisins from California for the frat quar-
ter of the present year amount to q
$4,000 pounds, compared to l,04O, 600
pounds for the same period last year.
Reviewing the growth of this industry,
the article says it would be but
q short time before foreign raisins
become an unknown quantity in the
United States but for the Interstate
Commerce law. The freight ON raisins
from California to New York is 20 cents
per box and from Spain to New York
only cents. 1t will thus be seen that
it will be impossible for California raisins
to compete with the Spanish. The only
protection formerly assured our raisin
makers was the low freight to the east.
The tariff on foreign raisins is insutfi-
cient to afford us protection.

MES. CLEVELAND IN THE SURE.
She Takes Her First Plunge Into
the waters OF Euzzard's Bay.

A Marion Mass special says Mrs.
Cleveland took her first dip in the wa
ters of Buzzard's bay this morning,
She enjoyed it hugely, all the more,
perhaps, because she had outwitted the
people of Marion, who had shown by
their previous behavior their curiosity
to see how the "FirSt Lady of the
Land" looked in the water. Only
her mother accompanied her to the
little beach thus honored. Every move
ment within the Hadley cottage was
noted by many sharp eyes. The people
knew that breakfast was later than
usual, hut those who saw Mrs. Cleve
land accompanying Mr.. and Mrs Glider
on a moonlight row on the bay last
night expected late breakfast at the
cottage. Afttr breakfast the comforta-
bic pbaetou which has been placed at
Mrs. Cleveland S disposal was driven up
to the door.
Ms. Cleveland handles the ribbons
hnself with much skill, aud made a
very pretty picture as she drove of.
Sue wore a blue-and white-striped
dress and gray jacket, with wide cnlfs
and deep collar OF white linen. Her
hat was II whle-straw sailor, with a
band of biue.and-white-s striped ribbon.
Fer mother sat by her side. Every
body thought that Mrs Cleveland in i.
tended taking u long drive. In that
they made a mistake. Mr.. George
Delano has the only sandy strip OF
beach IL the town Of Marion, and that
was her destination His estate lies on
what is called Little Neck, " aud co n
prises seventy-iive or one hundred
acres of grassy meadows AMI Won
derfully lovely grove of pines and
oaks. At the edge OF the meadow
stands the little bathing house, and
here Mrs. Cleveland took her plunge
into the sea.
When Mrs. Cleveland drove back to
the town the people saw at once that
she had outwitted them. The little
tendrllls of hair about her face showed
the effects of the water, but only IN
charming manner. Many women
looked with snvious eyes on the deli
cate curls that only heightened the
beauty of her features, and thought OF
their own locks that persisted in stand
ing like pokers whenever they INDUCED
in sea bath.
"She couldn't look like a wet hen
if size tried" said one woman, and she
told the truth.
In the afternoon Mrs. Cleveland and
Others of the party enjoyed long ride.
1t is understood that Professor Ia. A.
Lee, of the Fish Commission, has ar
ranged to take the party out in the
revenue-cutter, now at Woods Hole,
tomorrow. 1t is probable tdat a

Suggestive.

The Boston Herald, in discussing
"Changes in Industry" says: at is
noted that there is an increasing ten
dency TO transfer some OF our heaviest
industries to the places where the raw
material can DO had without Transport
tation." But our contemporary adds /:
at is also true that the increase in
the scientific character OF our public
schools will give our people a supre-
macy in industrial operations that for
long time will retain oil that is best
in our manufacturing interests ON our
own ground.
When the Herald speaks OF the
scientific character" OF the New
England public schools it means their
technical and industrial art features.
What wealth of suggestion to our
people there is in its remarks. Why
cannot Richmond compete with the
New England manufacturing centres in
the matter Of lighter industries ? The
Hcraid says because she has not the
skilled labor. And why hasn't she the
skilled labor? Because she has not
the industrial schools in which to edu-
cate it. Need more be said than this
in the way of argument in favor OF
making our Mechanics Institute a

lone Tho surface Of tho field, he should

along the surface OF the field, he should
quietly carry his prize over TO a snake
fence under the shade Of a persimmon
tree, and, having drawn a jack.knife's
blade only rind deep longitudinally
around the melon, thump the latter
upon the top rail until the inner struc-
tnre is ruptured. A pious man will lift
his soul in prayer when the luscious
red interior full OF black eyes is ex-
posed, but this is not usually considered
necessary.
The officiating priest then seats him
self flat aground and prepares for the
final ceremony. Never in his life does
a man feel the need OF company less
than at such moment. A melon inva-
riably divides with a hollow in one
half and great bulging cliG OF meat
in the other. IL there be company

tween appetite and politeness sears
the soul beyond repair. No mao
living ever rendered the fat hslf OF
melon to another and reserved for him
self the hollow delusion but felt his ex-
istence embittered. No, absolute soil
tude at this critical moment is the
greatest boon that can be conferred;
in fact, it is necessary to the harmony
Of the idyl. If he be alone the cpicure,
rs our Boston friend would call him,
prizes out hunks OF red meat with his
knife and uses his fingers after the
primitive manner of the true child OF
the soil to convey them to his mouth
and as he eats, being skilled, the black
seeds drop from the corner of his
mouth upon the bosom of the grand old
mother earth, and the mocking bird,
balanced upon the topmost branch far
above him, furnishes the hidden music
for the feast.
